I am not saying it produces the best visuals. I am saying it has been used to prodcue fantastic games.Batman AA and Mass Effect 2 are two examples on how good this engine is. What do you think?The Unreal Engine the best overall engin ...

The Unreal engine is by far one of the best out there. However, it's VERY expensive for game companies to use.
i think this gen for consoles its made some of the best games but its aging now and epic need to move onto unreal engine4.
Didnt ME2 use the Hero Engine?Im sorry,I dunno nothing about engines.
[QUOTE=''AAllxxjjnn'']The jaggies hurt my eyes.[/QUOTE]you must be playing ps3 versions of the unreal engine games.
When used well it can make great looking games, although it's obvious that there are other multiplat engines out there that can produce better. It's time they updated to unreal engine 4.0, and postpone making a next gen engine.
One of my favorites, but the texture issues do take out of the experience on occasion.

Oh no, i'm playing the PC version of Mass Effect 2, where I had to force AA on cause it was so awful.
It's certainly the most popular engine, it's just a shame most of the games visuals have the same feel to them. You get exceptions like Mirror's Edge and Borderlands, but most of them have a dark plastic feel.I've also noted that despite it's cross platform orientation; that the engine favours 360. There's hints of this even in the PC versions of games, I've noticed that there is CPU activity on only three cores during play, plus PS3 gamers are well aware of the engines history with them.

As always, popularity is never on a accurate scale with quality.It's certainly the most used engine of this gen, which saddens me, a PS3 owner.Best overall engine in the industry? Don't think so. Wait for Crysis 2 and RAGE before saying that :P
Not in the slightest.The engine has a very plastic look to everything, overuse of specular lighting, shiny look to everything like rocks and wood. Its very bad and doing real-time dynamic shadows (grainy, jittering)hence most shadows are baked. Complete lack of AA unless its running in DX10/11. Its overused, and often used poorly as well. There are exceptions like Mirror's Edge.MT Framework from Capcom, Cryengine 2 from Crytek are better.
Yes it is good. The plastic look is an advantage for me.

Aside from the aforementioned aliasing issues, I'm deeply impressed with what this engine accomplishes in Mass Effect 2. The PC version maxed out at high resolutions is a thing of beauty to behold, and easily one of the best looking games I've ever played.

It's a good engine, and the only real reason it would be the best overall is because of how flexable it is and how often it is used (if source was used more I would say it is better).
